OVERALLS OR NETHER GARMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 724,204, dated March31, 1903. p I

Application filed April 19,1901. Serial No. 56,595. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHAN RAvIoH, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inOveralls or Nether Garments; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inoveralls or nether garments, and more particularly to the class ofgarments in which a seam extends downward on the outside of the leg.

The object of this invention is to economize in the cutting, so that thetwo leg portions of the garment may be laid side by side adjacent toeach other and cut from the same width. These leg portions are cut theirfull length and the two are then secured together, each pattern or legportion being cut at a bias at the crotch-piece of the pattern, wherebythe two patterns or leg portions will match neatly together in thefinished garment.

In the accompanying illustration, Figure 1 is a detail perspective viewof my improved garment. Fig. 2 is a detail plan view of one of thepatterns or leg portions. Fig. 3is a detail perspective View of one ofthe fastening-buckles carried by the supporti ng-straps.

In the accompanying drawings,.1 indicates the legs of the garment, theseam 2 of which is along the outside thereof. These legs 1, togetherwith the body portion of the garment, are formed from a pattern which isshown in detail in Fig. 2 of the drawings. This pattern is cut with aflap 3 along one edge, and at its upper end is cut away for somedistance into the same, the edge 4 of the cut-away portion being on avertical line to a point near the lower end of the cut-away portion andthe edge 5 of said cut-away portion being cut on a bias and terminatingwith the lower end of the edge 4. When thispattern has been cut, asshown in detail in Fig. 2, the part 6 thereof is folded over onto thepart 7 and stitched along the edges to form the seam 2. The flap 3 istucked in against the inner face of the each other and carry suitablebuckles 14 to engage with buttons 15 on the front of the overalls. Whenhip-pockets are desired,these may be of the patch or box form, in whicha piece of cloth or fabric is cut out the shape of the pocket andstitched to the garment, as at 16. I may also attach to the front of thegarment a supplemental pocket 17, which is secured thereto in the samemanner as the hip-pocket 16. The garment is suitably fastened at thefront in any'desired manner. In the construction of such garment it willbe observed that the two patterns are exactly similar and but littlelabor is required to complete a garment.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

A pair of overalls comprised of two sections of the same pattern, eachsection having a portion adapted to fold over'to form a leg for saidoveralls, a pocket-flap made integral with the outer edge thereof, anextended portion above said leg-section forming an apron for thegarment, said extended portion sloping inwardly along its outer edge,and having a Vertical inner edge, with an inwardly-curved end, anoutwardly-,curved cut-away portion extending from the base of thevertical edge of said apron-forming piece, said two sections adapted tobe secured by overlapping the edges of the apron and cut-away portion ofeach section, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

NATHAN RAVICH.
